[0032] The specific implementation scheme is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Figures 1 to 6 The structure of an A-frame 100 in this embodiment is shown.
[0034] like Figure 1 Figure 2As shown, the A-frame 100 is used for an articulated dump truck, and includes a U-shaped frame body with an opening facing backwards, and a bearing seat 10 welded to the center of the front part of the frame body; the bearing seat 10 is a casting, and a rubber bearing 40 is installed thereon.
[0035] The frame body includes an upper side plate 31, a lower side plate 32, an outer side plate 33, and an inner side plate 34 welded into a U-shaped pipe 30 with a square cross section, and mounting plates 30 welded to both ends of the rear portion of the U-shaped pipe 30. The frame body is mirror-symmetrical about the vertical midplane.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer plate 33 includes a left outer plate located on the left side of the bearing seat 10 and a right outer plate located on the right side of the bearing seat 10; the rear portion of the bearing seat 10 is square, and its upper and lower sides are welded to the bottom surface of the upper side plate 31 and the top surface of the lower side plate 32, and its left and right sides are butt-welded to the front ends of the left outer plate and the right outer plate, respectively. The bearing seat 10, as a part of the U-shaped pipe fitting 30, is welded to the upper side plate 31, the lower side plate 32, and the left outer plate and the right outer plate.
[0037] The upper plate 31 , the lower plate 32 , the inner plate 34 , and the outer plate 33 are all formed by connecting a plurality of plates by butt welding.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper side plate 31 is formed by butt welding three plates, and the three plates of the upper side plate 31 are respectively the right rear upper side plate 312, the left rear upper side plate 313 and the middle upper side plate 314. The right end and the left end of the middle upper side plate 314 correspond to the butt welds of the right rear upper side plate 312 and the left rear upper side plate 313 as the upper side plate butt welds 311.
[0039] The lower side plate 32 is formed by butt welding three plates, and the three plates of the lower side plate 32 are respectively the right rear lower side plate 322, the left rear lower side plate 323 and the middle lower side plate 324. The butt welds at the right and left ends of the middle lower side plate 324 corresponding to the right rear lower side plate and the left rear lower side plate 323 are the lower side plate butt welds 321.
[0040] The rear side plate 34 is formed by butt welding three plates, and the three plates of the rear side plate 34 are respectively a right inner plate 342, a left inner plate 343 and a middle inner plate 344. The right end and the left end of the middle inner plate 344 correspond to the butt welds of the right inner plate 342 and the left inner plate 343 as the inner plate butt welds 341.
[0041] The right outer side plate includes a right rear outer side plate 332 located at the rear and a right front outer side plate 334 located at the front. The left outer side plate includes a left rear outer side plate 333 located at the rear and a left front outer side plate 335 located at the front. The right rear outer side plate 332, the right front outer side plate 334 and the right end of the bearing seat 10 are butt-welded in sequence on the right side of the bearing seat 10, and the left rear outer side plate 333, the left front outer side plate 335 and the left end of the bearing seat 10 are butt-welded in sequence on the left side of the bearing seat 10. The butt welds between the two ends of the right front outer side plate 334 and the right rear outer side plate 332 and the right end of the bearing seat 10, and the butt welds between the two ends of the left front outer side plate 335 and the left rear outer side plate 333 and the left end of the bearing seat 10 are outer side plate butt welds 331.
[0042] The length of the right rear outer panel 332 in the front-to-back direction is smaller than the length of the right rear upper side panel 312 in the front-to-back direction, and is also smaller than the length of the right rear lower side panel 322 in the front-to-back direction, so that the butt weld between the right rear outer panel 332 and the right front outer panel 334 is staggered with the butt weld 311 of the upper side panel and the butt weld 321 of the lower side panel. Similarly, the butt weld between the left rear outer panel 333 and the left front outer panel 335 is staggered with the butt weld 311 of the upper side panel and the butt weld 321 of the lower side panel.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the length of the middle inner panel 343 in the left-right direction is greater than the length of the middle lower panel 324 in the left-right direction, and less than the length of the middle upper panel 314 in the left-right direction, so that the inner panel butt welds 341 at both ends of the middle inner panel 344 are staggered with the upper panel butt welds 311 and the lower panel butt welds 321.
[0044] The width of the rear of the bearing seat in the left and right direction is smaller than the width of the middle lower side plate in the left and right direction, and also smaller than the width of the middle upper side plate in the left and right direction, so that the outer plate butt welds 331 at the left and right ends of the rear of the bearing seat are staggered with the lower side plate butt welds and the upper side plate butt welds.
[0045] The butt welds on each surface of the U-shaped pipe fitting are staggered, which can effectively improve the strength of the U-shaped pipe fitting. Each side plate is made of multiple plate parts butt-welded, which can improve the utilization rate of the plate parts.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the right inner plate 342 and the left inner plate 343 constituting the inner plate 34 are bent plates having one bending line, and the middle inner plate 344 is a bent plate having two bending lines.
[0047] like Figure 4As shown, the right rear outer plate 332 and the left rear outer plate 333 are bent plates with two bending lines, and the right front outer plate 334 and the left front outer plate 335 are bent plates with one bending line. The bending structure of the inner plate 34 and the outer plate 33 makes the pipe formed by welding them into a U-shaped structure with the opening facing backward.
[0048] According to the spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32, the U-shaped pipe can be divided into a rear equal-spacing parallel section 35, a spacing gradient section 36, and a front equal-spacing parallel section 37 from the rear end to the front end. Figure 5 As shown, the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 each have two bending lines, namely, a lower bending line 351 located at the rear and an upper bending line 361 located at the front. The upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 are bent downward at the lower bending line 351 and bent upward at the upper bending line 361, thereby forming a rear equidistant parallel section 35, a spacing gradient section 36, and a front equidistant parallel section 37 on the U-shaped pipe fitting. The spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 in the rear equidistant parallel section 35 is the same. The spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 in the spacing gradient section 36 decreases from large to small from the rear to the front, and the spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 in the front equidistant parallel section 37 is the same. The spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 in the rear equidistant parallel section 35 is greater than the spacing between the upper side plate 31 and the lower side plate 32 in the front equidistant parallel section 37. The portion of the upper side plate 31 in the rear equally spaced parallel section 35 and the portion of the upper side plate in the front equally spaced parallel section 37 are parallel to each other.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the bearing seat 10 is a casting, and is provided with a bearing hole for installing a bearing, and a rubber bearing 40 is installed in the bearing hole.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the area of the mounting plate 20 opposite to the inner hole of the end of the U-shaped pipe is provided with a bolt mounting hole 21, and the rear of the inner plate 34 is provided with a mounting process hole 345. When the A-frame 100 is connected to the axle 200, bolts are installed through the mounting process holes to fix the mounting plate 20 to the axle 200.
[0051] This embodiment also provides an articulated dump truck, which has the aforementioned A-frame. Figure 7 As shown, the rear end of the A-frame 100 is fixedly connected to the axle 200 via a mounting plate 20 , and the front end is connected to the frame 300 via a rubber bearing 40 on a bearing seat 10 .
[0052] In this embodiment, the main body of the A-frame 10 is a welded box-type structure, which has the advantages of high strength and light weight, reasonable arrangement of welds, improved welding feasibility, and reduced welding defects.
